A small fire is burning south of the Aspen Acres fire near Greenhorn Mountain.

The Pole Canyon fire, burning about 7 miles south of Rye, started at about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, said the Huerfano County Fire Protection District.

The district said “several drops from air support” are helping to contain the fire, which appears to be burning at the base of Greenhorn Mountain.

The Alaska Complex Incident Management Team 1 sent five engines, a helicopter and fireline supervision to the Pole Canyon fire, said Jake Livingston, the commander for the Alaska Complex Incident Management Team 1.

“Conditions are looking good,” he said.

Crews used fire suppressant on the blaze, which was not growing, Livingston said shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday

The Alaska team was assisting Huerfano County firefighters, who are in charge of fighting the blaze, said Al Nash, a spokesman for the federal team.
